Hello, I am installing a 12v DC 18ch 40amp distribution box to power up all my IR array cameras and want to know some more information regarding 40 amps. I am guessing 40 amps in the cctv distribution box is different when compared with house electrical? because this is going to be plugged in a 20 amp circuit breaker. Also will be using a 14 gauge power cord for this box, would that be suffice?

Hello, Just bought a Dahua DHI-XVR5216AN-S2 and used my old 3tb hdd (WD30PURX) and it only detects 1397.13G it shows. The DVR claims: Internal HDD 2 SATA Port, up to 8TB capacity. http://www1.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upl ... 171024.pdf I tried formatting in the dvr but still the same. Was using the hdd from a different brand dvr before. Any advice?

Use a spade bit from the outside going in, find a spade bit size hole that would fit all of your cables ( rem the heads are bigger than the cable). Also since the cables are coming out from that low, will you be using conduit pipe?

I was actually talking about 3rd party Analog cameras, AHD cameras

dont use those cheap pre-made cables, i usually use cat5e wires with video and power balun.

good day ..thanks for response to my problem...my power is near at the cam..70mtrs. distance I had this problem before, best way to find out is get a power source close up to your camera that having issue and check if night vision works ( you can dismount the camera and take it inside to make sure it is not your camera). If it is working, you got amperage drop from your line. 70 meters is pretty long depending on the gauge wire you use for power. Especially if you are using IR ARRAY leds.

Hey I got a building that wants interior cameras/ 2 cameras in each floor and would like some tips or ideas of wiring. Everything is concrete and owner doesn't really want much holes. I know wifi would be a bad idea, what bout POE? trying to figure out how to get internet access to each floor.

I got a 8 channel ahd system and 4 cameras 3 the same bullet style camera and 1 dome. The 3 bullet style camera is AHD and the 1 dome is regular analog 800 tvl.

So my current setup is channel 1,2,3, and 5 is being used. anyway i can fix this? all power supplies is separate.
